So you went from getting 160 10mg oxycodone pills a month to just 2-3 long acting morphine pills plus some 15-30mg short acting morphines for breakthrough?
That's not a victory. All she did was simplify your regimen from a bunch of small dose pain pills to a couple big dose pain pills. You are still stuck on the pain pills, just high dose ones instead of low dose ones. If you stopped the morphine you will still go through awful withdrawals exactly like as if you stopped the 10/325 oxycodones. Not only that, the amount of pain pills you are on in the morphine regimen is actually double/triple the amount you were taking with the 10/325 oxycodones. That is probably why you feel so better and don't need the injections anymore.
So basically, all your new doctor did was massively increase your pain pill dose, so you now feel like a million bucks. Your old doctor tried to do things like injections in order to minimize your dependence on pain pills. This one just doubled your pain pill dose and skipped the injections. That is not a good or a sustainable plan. You are getting yourself into massive amounts of trouble this way and it's horrible because you think this doctor changed your life but all she did was increase your pain pill doses. And again, you will have horrible withdrawals getting off this regimen that would be much worse than the withdrawals from getting off the 10/325's because of the increase in total daily pain pill dose she did.

i am in a worse situation. I have everything you have gone through x2. I need help. Its so hard I cry everyday.
You are doing the right thing. I am 57, on opiate meds for 17 years. I am still sick like you are 150 days in recovery. So, do it now! Don't wait so long Iike I did. I am committed. Hope you are!
I don't know if how you're doing but I'm a 2 weeks since my last oxy 4 10mg a day, for a year. I felt exactly the same and then a friend of mine told me to try acupuncture and WOW I feel soooo much better, I guess it's made to force the brain to secrete it's on hormone, dopamine, etc if you haven't tried I suggest you do I've only done 1 session and I can't wait to go again. Good luck just hand in there,
Suboxone is another addiction and worse withdrawals EVER. GOD is the answer..
I have been NOT taking pain meds for 3 months now. For 3 1/2 years I have stolen Perc's from my parents or just about anyone who I could find that had them. I never took them for pain. They just made me feel so awesome!! Energetic, happy, motivated...now I can't get any and am still wishing I could.. the days seem so long and unfulfilling. I was so much happier taking them... the whole bottom line is eventually you run out! And those are the times when things suck!! Do I wish I would have never even tried them? Yes!! I am a normal person with a job, kids, husband etc...
Suburbs nice house car the whole bit!! Why would I even want to take them?! I don't even know myself.. Each day I'm hoping I quit wanting them so damn bad!!! I almost went hi an urgent care center today to say my back hurt! But in my area doctors aren't really handing them out like they used too. I just keep trying to force myself to be happy!! Trying to ind little things that work. I hope my own natural brain will eventually "kick-in" and work again!! I have never told anyone about my addiction! It's HARD!! If I could get my hands on pain meds today I'm sure I would hobble them up!! I hope this time next year I don't miss them!! Hang in there!! That's all I got....
Hi everyone I'm an addict been on drugs since I was 11 now I'm 36 and finally decided to go on the Suboxone program I'm still going through withdrawals right now for pain pills which I've been taking continuously for the past few months but this coming Friday I finally go on the Suboxone program but I'm wondering if it's a good idea or not I still have it in my mind that I want to take pills and want to throat do drugs but I know I will lose my wife and that I'm not going to do so my last resort is the Suboxone program but I'm wondering is it going to make me feel any better is it going to make my mind not want these drugs anymore do you go through withdrawals still why you get on the suboxin or do the withdrawals from the pills stop once you start taking Suboxone if anyone has any answers for me please let me know
Dear Guest,
The first half of your story is mine to the T. Had to take oxy after major surgery. Didn't notice euphoria really. But pain persisted & time (& age) led to other pains. 15yrs later still taking. Since doc increased me to 130mg oxy/day for the past 2-3yrs, I crave more & more, & run out b4 I should, leading to a fam member scrambling to find some any way he can to keep me out of WD. This past week I've realky decided I need to cut way back & would love to stop. In fact, it seems like the meds induce MORE pain these days- & no WD involved. I haven't worked in 11yrs & I, too, used to be a really hard worker. For 4 days now, Ive been on only 30-40mg/day with plans of tapering off & its mentally 'killing' me. Depressed, bored, tired, legs weak, unmmotivated... I just want to sleep.
PLEASE can someone eatimate how long these feelings will last?

I feel your ain bro. Ive been snorting morphine n dilaudid and on klonopin for 15 years or bit longer AND IM SICK OF IT.....I AM OUT OF MY PILLS I. ONE DAY AND RE UP IN 7 DAYS...I DONT KNOW WHAT IMMA DO. I NEED TO STOP. COLD TURKEY IS USUALLY HOW I DO IT. BUT I HAV A HIGH ENERGY JOB WHERE I HAVE TO WALK 12 MILES A DAY. IDK HOW IMMA GET THROUGH THIS AND WORK. AND I CANT GET TIME OFF AND CANT LOSE MY JOB.
Yes this is true. Very good advice also ask your doctor for clonidine helps take the anxiety and helps a little with the sleeplessness. Is Ben three weeks since I haven't taken Suboxone and I still feel like c**p. I was in a very bad car accident broke my neck in 3 places my arm leg ribs so much more and I feel nervous and all my points that I hurt and I car accident or hurting and especially my back.
